The new Lake City Reporter Athlete of the Week poll is live for Sept. 9-14.
Each week the LCR's news staff will put together a collection of the the top performers from the week for you to vote on. Nominees are derived from scores and stats uploaded to MaxPreps, sent in by coaches and from games attended by the LCR's reporters. Readers can then vote in the online poll to determine who the Athlete of the Week will be.
Polls are posted at lakecityreporter.com each weekend and voting ends noon Wednesday of each week. The winner will be announced in the Thursday edition of the LCR as well as online.
